New Zealand Users and NZ Non-Profit Organisations

If You have accessed this website from New Zealand, and/or:

wish to donate to a New Zealand Non-Profit organisation with Registered Charitable Status or Donee Tax Status, the Terms governing Your use of the Platform are here.

you are a Non-Profit Organisation and wish to use the GoFundraise Platform for fundraising, then the Terms for New Zealand will govern Your use of the Platform, and You must also agree to additional terms here.

Overview

The Platform is an online fundraising facility. GoFundraise acts as agent of the Not-For-Profit Organisations (NFPs) and other users of the Platform facilities (Other Clients) (Other Clients and NFPs together and each a Beneficiary) with limited authority adequate to facilitate the collection, accounting and payment of funds raised. The GoFundraise agency is limited to the delivery of online services and consequential accounting. Beneficiaries and Users are given access to functionality that enables them to create fundraising campaigns, build web pages and contact their networks. All such actions are the actions of the relevant Beneficiary or User. As a general proposition, GoFundraise accepts no liability whatsoever for the actions of Beneficiaries or Users on the Platform.

Every Not-For-Profit Organisation (NFP) listed on this Website has a contract with GoFundraise authorising Us to collect donations on its behalf, and we take reasonable steps to substantiate the Not-For-Profit status of NFP’s during the registration and contracting process.

Despite clause 6, GoFundraise accepts no liability for ensuring that any Beneficiary applies the proceeds received from a donation in any particular way. If a User is dissatisfied with a Beneficiary's use of any donation the User makes through the Platform, the User should contact that Beneficiary directly.

GoFundraise fees

Standard arrangement

GoFundraise offers NFPs flexible fee options. Under the standard fee arrangement, GoFundraise charges a small service fee of between 0.49% - 6%
(depending on the plan of the Beneficiary and where donation is facilitated) for its services. The fee is deducted from gross donations collected
on behalf of the Beneficiary.. Direct donations to a Charity's fundraising portal (located at
www.gofundraise.com.au/beneficiaries/search) are charged
at the low administration fee of 0.49% service fee + GST and processing cost. Regular giving payments are charged at 1.95% Service Fee + GST to the Beneficiary
plus card transaction fees. Other transactions are charged at the rate based on their plan.

Donor Pays Option

Beneficiaries may, at their option, choose one of GoFundraise’s Donor Pay Option arrangements for recovery of the fees required for the Platform to continue to provide its services. If the Beneficiary chooses these Options, then the donor is asked to tip to GoFundraise a sum of their choosing or a percentage uplift to the beneficiary to off-set the Platform Fee or to match the fees charged under the standard arrangement.

GoFundraise also recovers credit card processing fees from the gross donations. These are currently at the market rate of 1.1% (inc gst) + $0.20 (inc gst) per transaction for Visa & Master Card, and 1.98% (inc gst) for American Express and 2.1% for Paypal (GST exempt). These fees are subject to change without notice. Transactions to multiple organisations in a transaction may incur an additional $0.20 fee per beneficiary.

If GoFundraise provides services additional to the collection of donations through the Platform at the request of a Beneficiary, then fees for those specific services apply.

Credit card payments

Any donation, purchases or other transactions made through the Platform by a User inserting that User’s credit card details is final and not disputable. Where there has been an unauthorised use of a User’s credit card, and the unauthorised nature of that use is proved on the balance of probabilities, then the donation will be refunded unless it has already been credited to the relevant Beneficiary.

Regular Giving payments

Regular Giving is a functionality that provides Users the opportunity to schedule regular donations. A User can modify the amount and frequency of a Regular Giving payment up to 72 hours prior to a scheduled payment. The User may update this information through the 'My Donations & Purchases' area, located under 'My Account'. The minimum regular giving payment is $2.00 AUD.

To cancel a Regular Giving payments the User must email
support
or calling 1300 889 272 or + 61 29326 9877. Cancelations
take up to 7 working days to take effect.
Any payment that occurs before this time cannot be cancelled and will not be refunded
by GoFundraise. Users will be notified via email that your payment has been cancelled.
It is the Users responsibility to ensure that cancellations have been made,
if you do not receive a confirmation within 7 days please call 1300 889 272 or + 61 29326 9877 immediately.
All receipts will be generated and emailed to you on the day your regular payment
is made and are available for download under the Users My Donation and Purchases area.

Ticket Sales and Raffles

The Platform provides Beneficiaries of a specific account class with the functionality necessary to conduct raffles and sell tickets to events. GoFundraise makes no representations as to the compliance by Beneficiaries with the laws applicable to the conduct of events or raffles. Users must establish to their own satisfaction the propriety or otherwise of such raffles and ticketed events by contacting the relevant Beneficiary directly. Any disputes about raffles must be directed to the raffle organiser.

Payments made by Users through the Platform for Raffle tickets are non-refundable. Please choose carefully.

Where a registered User builds a personal fundraising page or Event in favour of a Beneficiary, the Beneficiary must be first registered on the Website. The creation by a User of a Personal Page, Event or Microsite in no way implies the endorsement of the fundraising or other activity promoted on the page by GoFundraise or the Beneficiary.

GoFundraise reserves the right to delete, close or suspend a Personal Page, and/or Event at it’s discretion. Also if a Beneficiary or Event Organiser gives GoFundraise written notice that it deems a fundraising activity promoted on a Personal Page or Event to be inappropriate or unnecessarily dangerous or not desirable, GoFundraise will use it’s discretion to take appropriate action.

Where a User builds a Personal Page on the Platform, the User must ensure that the data, including without limitation all text, pictures, graphics, audio, video, images and other data or information uploaded to the Personal Page does not:

with the making of any donation by another User.

Except in relation to a User’s Personal Page, a User may not remove, alter,
add to or change anything on the Platform.

Platform but reserves the right to remove or edit any Content posted on the Platform at its
sole discretion and without notice, regardless or whether or not it is, in the opinion of
any third party, in breach of these Terms and Conditions. If a User notices any Content posted
